"Damn, isn't that the shameless woman from yesterday who tricked Master's rabbit with just two bowls of noodles?"

"She's quite good-looking, but unfortunately, she's incredibly ruthless."

Only after Lin Shuyun had walked away did the boy with the bamboo basket finally stop feeling indignant.

Two bowls of noodles cost at most twenty coins, while a rabbit cost thirty coins, so I got a ten-coin bargain.

The key point is that at first, he wanted to trick the two rabbits away with just ten coins.

It's true that the prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive people; she even fooled an elderly person of that age.

Inside the carriage, a refined-looking middle-aged man in white sat upright.

"Shi Feng, you mustn't use foul language. Where is your grandmaster?"

Upon hearing this, the boy immediately straightened his face. "Senior brother is squatting in the market. Grandmaster should be coming to sell wild rabbits soon. Grandmaster has been coming to sell rabbits every day for the past few days."

The middle-aged man in white frowned. "It rained late last night. Your grandmaster is old and we don't know where he took shelter from the rain. We must bring him back this time. We can't let him have his way anymore."

Unfortunately, the two waited from morning until noon but no one came.

Finally, the middle-aged man in white couldn't resist and went to the market himself.

"Shi Luo, where is your grandmaster?"

The man in blue, dressed in shorts today, was surrounded by a group of older women. He squatted among a pile of bamboo baskets, looking like he was about to cry.

"Master, Grandmaster didn't come at all."

……

……

It was already noon when Lin Shuyun and Jiang Changtian finished their acupuncture treatment and came out of the clinic. They ran into the carriage again at the clinic entrance.

While rushing to catch the carriage, Feng snorted coldly at Lin Shuyun and walked away.

Lin Shuyun: ...

What grudge could there be?

When Doctor Yang came out, he saw her staring at the carriage and said, "That's the carriage of the Dean of Luming Academy, and the driver is his personal disciple."

"Luming Academy?"

Lin Shuyun's eyes clearly said, "Is she really that famous?"

Dr. Yang smiled and explained, "Luming Academy was personally founded by the former Emperor Emeritus. Only those who can enter the academy are truly worthy disciples of the Emperor, a place that scholars all over the world aspire to."

"Oh, that sounds impressive. Where is Luming Academy located?"

Lin Shuyun immediately became interested and wanted to go take a look, mainly because she liked the words "Lu Ming".

"The place that scholars all over the world yearn for is, of course, the capital city."

Lin Shuyun watched as the carriage disappeared around a corner. "This place must be far from the capital. What is the dean doing in this godforsaken place?"

Although the original owner of this body had never even left the town, she knew that the capital must be very far away, and it would take about thirty months to travel there by carriage.

"Well, I don't know either." It's already quite impressive that Doctor Yang recognized the dean's carriage; how could he possibly know what they were there for?

Turning to look at Jiang Changtian on the donkey cart, she said, "Lin Niangzi's husband is also a scholar. If his leg heals, he must take the exam for Luming Academy."

Jiang Changtian lowered his head and said, "Doctor Yang thinks too highly of me. I was just studying at Master Li's private school in the county before, and I haven't even obtained the title of Xiucai yet. How could I possibly dream of such a place?"

Lin Shuyun patted the donkey's head. "Young people should have dreams, what if they come true?"

"We're leaving now, Uncle Yang. We'll come back tomorrow."

"Okay, be careful on the road." Dr. Yang watched the young couple leave before turning back to the courtyard behind the clinic.

Yin Han remained lounging in the recliner, swaying leisurely and contentedly.

Doctor Yang spoke in a low voice, "Master, the dean of Luming Academy must have come here seeking medical treatment."

I reckon they're most likely after Yin Han.

"Let them seek medical treatment; that's none of my business."

Yin Han got up from the recliner and pointed to the half-basket of mushrooms on his back, saying, "These are all good stuff. I'll cook them myself later, so don't let Aunt Zhang do it."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Yang immediately dared not say anything more. His master would be leaving in a few days, so he should hurry up and ask him more questions about difficult and complicated cases.

Lin Shuyun drove her donkey cart to buy two new quilts and then prepared to go home.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Jiang Changtian reminded her, "Wine."

I forgot the two ounces of wine I promised to buy for Uncle Xu when I went out this morning.

"At his age, why is he still sick and drinking alcohol? Let him go back and have some wild mushroom soup to replenish his nutrition."

After Lin Shuyun finished speaking, she turned her head and saw Jiang Changtian frowning. Her tone immediately became playful, "Are you trying to say that a person cannot break their word?"

Jiang Changtian didn't respond, but that was exactly what he meant.

“Then I’ll go buy it for him, two jin. If he drinks it all and dies in our house tonight, I won’t be responsible.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Changtian immediately said, "No need, I misunderstood."

Lin Shuyun chuckled and increased the speed of driving the donkey cart.

Upon reaching the village entrance, I met Jiang Shuixian.

To be precise, Jiang Shuixian was waiting for them.

She had heard from the villagers that the two of them had been going to town every day for the past few days, and they were never free.

Jiang Shuixian saw the donkey cart coming from afar, raised her head, and stood arrogantly in the middle of the road.

As Lin Shuyun and the others approached, she asked, "You went to town again?"

Lin Shuyun, driving the donkey cart, showed no intention of stopping.

Jiang Shuixian immediately raised her voice, "Hey, aren't you hearing me talking to you? Are you deaf?!"

"You've come here for something?"

Jiang Changtian, who was on the donkey cart, spoke up, but his tone was not very warm towards his younger sister.

Jiang Shuixian looked at Jiang Changtian, whose face was scarred, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.

"Brother, I've heard you've been going to town every day these past few days. Did you buy something again? Have her give me those two quilts. I need them."

Her mattress hadn't been changed for six months, and it was starting to fade. These two new mattresses would be perfect for another year.

Without waiting for Jiang Changtian's reply, she said directly to Lin Shuyun, "Hey, did you hear me? Hurry up and take it down for me."

"Who do you think you are? Why should I give it to you?"

Lin Shuyun flicked the whip in her hand, feeling a little itchy.

"Because I am my elder brother's own sister, you may not know this since you just entered the family, but my elder brother knows that he always puts the best things in the house first for me."

Jiang Shuixian tilted her head back as if she wanted to turn her nose to the sky. She was always the most favored one at home, and even her third brother and older brother had to give way to her.

"If you give me the bedding, I'll speak well of you to Mother."

Even her sister-in-law, Wang, tried to please her in the same way.

"up to you."

Lin Shuyun chuckled and drove on.

Jiang Shuixian spread her arms to block her way, saying, "I don't care. I've got my eye on these two quilts. You have to give them to me, or you're not getting past me."

"Go ahead and run me over if you dare, otherwise..."

"what!"

Before Jiang Shuixian could finish speaking, she bumped mouth to mouth with the donkey, and was so frightened that she fell to the ground. If she hadn't climbed so fast, the donkey would have trampled over her.

Still in shock, she saw Jiang's father, Jiang Shoutian, and started crying at the top of her lungs.

"Father, my elder brother is letting this woman bully me! She tried to trample me to death with a donkey cart!"
